LSU Football Coaching Staff Tracker: Who will join Kiffin at LSU?

LSU football tabbed Lane Kiffin to be the program's next head coach. Kiffin arrives after spending six years as Ole Miss's head coach. In that time, he won 55 games, leaving Oxford as the third most winning head coach in program history.

Kiffin has the Rebels knocking on the door of the College Football Playoff, but with Kiffin heading to Baton Rouge, Ole Miss promoted Pete Golding to lead the Rebels in the postseason and beyond.

As Kiffin gets to work at LSU, his first job is building a coaching staff. Kiffin is expected to bring significant personnel from his Ole Miss staff and potentially retain several LSU assistants.

When Brian Kelly accepted the LSU job in 2021, few staffers followed from Notre Dame. Kelly let go most of LSU's previous staff, too. Kiffin will take a different approach, which should lead to more staff cohesion in year one.

Stay tuned here for updates on Kiffin's developing coaching staff at LSU.
